© 1970: A stand-alone novel by R W Mackelworth. 1st printing of 1972 edition. UK SFBC #181:- Synopsis: Mr Mackelworth's second novel to be selected for club members is even more fascinating than his earlier 'Firemantle'. Here in a new Ice Age created by the Earth's axis shifting, only a small colony appears to have survived for generations, in an ice city of their forebears' creation. They had lived in a cave for a very long time - for generations of mind-numbing time. Only a few daring young ones were chosen periodically to go out and get new supplies, and not many of them came back. But some did, with enough food to keep the colony living. And breathing. The cold numbed the mind too. Keeping body and soul together took so much energy that few ever thought to ask any questions - like how had they got there? When would they leave? Or was it, in fact, already too late?:- (original cost Unmarked).

Terms of sale
All books offered for sale are complete and sound (any missing / loose pages or cracked / broken spines will be mentioned in the book description). Our book-seller images are of, not just the listed edition / print, but also of the actual book you will be buying (the cover collages are made from 3 individual scans of each book that are then displayed as a wrap-around image - the books themselves are NOT damaged in any way by this process). Book sizes, where given, are to the nearest ¼". Each book has then been graded according to its condition, taking into account the degree of creasing to the covers and/or spine, presence of scuff marks or tears, any pen marks or inscriptions & any page tanning. We try to be as fair & accurate as possible with the grading of our books, but if you are unhappy with any classification of condition please let us know as soon as possible. If, for any reason at all, you are unhappy with your purchase, we offer a no quibble, money back guarantee within 30 days of purchase. We also welcome any feedback or comments that you may have as we are always trying to maintain our high levels of customer service.
